Re: [PLUG] Newbie level DHCP client question
|
I use dca.net and yes they do use the MAC address. You need to supply the
MAC address of the DHCP device connected to the DSL modem - either a
computer or router. In my case I use a router. They will DHCP assign a
"static" IP to this MAC address. As long as you use that MAC address the
IP address will never change. You can in the future MAC address clone a
new or different device. I do that here as I changed routers awhile back
and did not want to hassle with changing it with dca.
DCA should have a good tech support that will walk you thru this if need
be.
